I can't do this anymore

That's true. I am finding myself with the 'not good enough don't even bother' thoughts. Remnants of an abusive relationship and now an abusive (or at least, not conducive to my self-esteem) work environment. I'm overthinking it already.

S'ok...I have an appt with my therapist tomorrow.

And:

Then you have the Int Dir...who just made it a point to stop and congratulate me on what I accomplished yesterday.

THAT's a manager. Maybe he sees how I'm being treated. Or he's just that nice. It was sure nice to hear something positive.

Managers love it when you bring money in. Shit like that is black and white, and even an inept one should be able to see the numbers. It's pathetic that the evil boss didn't say anything positive.

Or maybe he can see how good you are, or was impressed as fuck with you managing to recover those virtual monies. Sounds to me like you're now so conditioned to negative feedback that any positive feedback has to be taken in the context of that negativity. Actually, telling someone they've done a good job when they just managed to recover previously lost monies is the normal thing for a manager to do.*




* or indeed for a human being to do. Don't have to be more than averagely nice to praise the results of good work.
